THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS

If you don't follow me on any of my socials then you won't know that Autumn is my favourite season. I'm not a fan of the how early it gets dark but I love the cold weather and the changing colours of the leaves. These are a few of favourite things about Autumn:

Autumn Walks. There’s something different about taking a walk in the Autumn. The air is crisp, there’s a sharp breeze and a glimpse of sunshine between the trees. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been enjoying going out alone on a Sunday with my camera at hand, capturing my surroundings and stuffing conkers in my pocket along the way, gotta collect those free blog props

The Hot Drinks. Back before I discovered coffee was a trigger for my migraines, I would buy and try all the new coffee syrups at this time of year. Now, I just stick to the herbal teas and the new hot chocolate flavours but I do love having a sniff of the new syrups even if I can’t drink them.

Autumn Fashion. You’re probably very tired of me saying this but I love Autumn fashion. I get excited for this time of year, every year because I can really start dressing. I’m not a fan of S/S trends as I like to be covered and Autumn allows me to do just that, leaving my house wrapped up like a burrito in my oversized puffer jacket. Read my last post to see what items are in my transitional wardrobe.

Candles. If I had the money, I would totally move to America just for Autumn period, stack up on bath and body works candles and come home after Halloween. I love candles and I’ve been after some Autumn scented bath and body works candles for years. Wasn't there a rumour that they're opening a store in the UK? I'll be first in line if it's true!

And finally, Halloween and Bonfire Night. Growing up, my family never celebrated Halloween because they’re religious. Now I'm older, I use it as an excuse to look gross on a nightout without being judged. As for bonfire night, any excuse to whip out my bobble hat, drink mulled wine and surround myself with the smell of smoke, is that weird? Probably but I love the smell of burning wood.
